Security Team Five charged toward the armour bay, as fast as they could. Though there was no need to hurry when they began, Fyodor had almost arrived--the team's Nekovalkyrja were already there--when the shooting started.
Though it cost them a bit of combat time, Shrii still felt it necessary to pass on the briefing she'd received to the rest of the team before opening the door, and it gave Fyodor more time to cover the last several meters. "They got inside as soon as we opened the bay. It's shut again, and the others are playing dead. We've got to stop the cloaked saboteur without friendly fire." She twisted her spray bottle to the 'unsafe' position, and entered a code to unlock the blast door. Fyodor hardly needed to slow down.
Outside the ship, Aurelié, when she saw her foes flanking her, turned away from the battle and attempted to hide in the Ryujo's terrain, in a flurry of countermeasures. She found almost nowhere to hide, unless she flew into a damaged hangar or engine, though, and now that she was so close to the ship it was hard to navigate and took all her attention just to avoid a collision.
More than a dozen shots landed behind her, as her foes seemed too slow to track her through such aggressive maneuvers, but when she flew past the ship's central anti-starship turret, hoping to give it a chance to strike several enemies, they focused their fire and delivered it to sparking ruin after it fired one shot, which went wide, and before Aurelié cleared it again. The smaller turrets defending it had already been cleared!
Aurelié put on another burst of speed to dive around the nose of the ship, and came close enough to being caught in the fire from the main guns of the enemy carrier for her field to start fizzling. One shot from behind clipped her wing on the underside, bringing up an alert that her second wing mount couldn't detect what she'd loaded there.
Nocnimura had trained her guns on the fighters who'd turned their backs on her at the beginning, but had ceased her fire when they followed Aurelié into zero-range with the Ryujo. She seemed confused by her wingmate's actions, and barely began a maneuver to bring herself around to the Ryujo's underside after Aurelié was already almost there.
The commander's Kawarime tumbled unresponsively, but she was less reluctant to speak up on the comms. "I don't have a clear shot, I need you to keep them near m--" She dropped off, as Aurelié's ship left her line-of-sight entirely. A second message, directed to Nocnimura but still heard by Aurelié, soon followed. "Don't go down there, be ready to soften them up when they come back this way for me."
